Your Guide to Pest Control in West Palm Beach

That means a lot of pests consistently find their way into homes. And the next home they chose might be yours.

But how does pest control help, and how do you know when it’s time to get pest control in West Palm Beach?

Take a look at this complete pest control guide and find out how it can help you.

What Can Pest Control in West Palm Beach Do for Me?

Because you don’t have the same professional equipment exterminators have, it can be difficult for you to track down and kill all the pests in your home on your own. Pest control in West Palm Beach will help you save money, time, and stress.

Saving Money

The cost of hiring an exterminator can be nothing compared to the cost of repairing your home if you leave your pest problem alone. Professional pest control will remove all pests from your home before they cause too much damage.

Saving Stress

And they literally will remove all of them.

Killing off pests on your own doesn’t usually help you eradicate the problem. Most pests have colonies hidden away in a nest or hive, and even if you kill a lot of them, they’ll keep coming back.

Exterminators will be able to find the source of your pest problem and remove all traces of the bugs, animals, or nests.

Saving Time

Professional pest control can do all this in just a few hours. You can wake up one morning with an ant infestation and go to bed with a clean, pest-free house. If you have a serious pest infestation, something that requires fumigation, the extermination can take multiple days.

Why are Pests such a Problem?

Some pests are just annoying to have around, but some pests, like rats, mosquitos, and even flies, can spread diseases. Other pests can also cause thousands of dollars of damages to your home.

Your Health

Most pests carry around bacteria that can introduce your family to serious illness. They can contaminate your food without you even realizing or inject disease directly into your body.

Some pests have venomous bites that have been known to result in death, like spiders and fire ants.

When it comes to your family’s safety, it is not worth overlooking your pest problem.

Your Home

If pests aren’t harming you personally, they are messing up your home.

Every year termites cause about $5 billion in property damage. Their main diet is wood, which means these little bugs will actually eat the walls of your house.

Mice will chew through anything and everything in your home while looking for material to make their nests. This includes things like clothes, books, furniture, and insulation (creating serious fire hazards if they chew away the insulation around wires).

And these are just two of the pests you could find in your home. To give you a better idea what you could be facing, let’s take a look at this list of common animals and insects that require pest control in West Palm Beach.

Common Household Pests

There are a lot of household pests out there, but these are the ones you’re most likely to find in your home. Some of these pests don’t cause any real harm, but others you’ll want to address right away.

Spiders

If they aren’t venomous, you don’t have a lot to worry about when it comes to spiders. But they are nasty, creepy bugs, and if you have a lot inside your home, you may want to get rid of them.

Stink Bugs

They stink. You definitely don’t want them inside.

Earwigs

They won’t hurt you, but they are not fun to find on the table or in your pantry.

House Flies

Flies don’t usually cause a lot of damage, but they can carry diseases like Salmonella, E.coli, Shigella, and Vibrio. Their legs are covered in little hairs, and when these hairs touch your food for even a second, they transfer the germs from everything else they’ve touched onto your food.

Bedbugs

They are hard to see, but they live in your bed and bite you while you’re sleeping. The bites can burn, turn red, and itch.

Ants

Ants are attracted to sweet, sugary foods, and once a single ant finds that food in your house, hundreds more show up. They can easily contaminate your food by crawling inside.

Mosquitoes and Ticks

You are these bugs main food source. They’ll bite you and drink your blood. The bite itself doesn’t do much harm, though it may swell slightly, turn red, and itch or burn.

But these pests can also insert bacteria and diseases directly into your blood flow.

Termites

We’ve already talked about these bugs, but they will eat anything wooden they can find. Some termites prefer softer or hard types of wood, but no matter what your house is made of, there is a termite who is happy to eat it.

Bees

If you get too close to their hive, bees will defend themselves, which means they will attack you. Their stings will cause discomfort, redness, and swelling, and their hive can cause a lot of damage to your home if not removed properly.

Cockroaches

Cockroaches mostly come out at night, so by the time you see one, you most likely have a lot more. They spread diseases, like Salmonellosis, through the food in your kitchen.

Rats/Mice

They’ll destroy items in your house, cause fire hazards in the attic and walls, and spread diseases through their feces and urine. All in all, really gross creatures to have around.

Racoons

These animals are very aggressive, and they will attack you if they feel threatened. They can also spread diseases through their bites, so watch out.

Don’t Mess Around with Messy Pests

Almost all pests, both bugs and animals, carry diseases and keeping them in your house risks the health and safety of your family. They can destroy the walls of your home, your belongings, and even the things you don’t think about a lot, like insulation.

If you notice signs of these pests in your home, you should call an exterminator to take care of them right away. The longer those pests stick around, the more damage they will cause, for you and your home.
